Manchester City forward Stevan Jovetic has slammed manager Manuel Pellegrini’s decision to leave him out of the club’s Champions League squad.

With Manchester City competition in this season's Champions League with a reduced squad, and having signed forward Wilfried Bony from Swansea in the transfer window, Pellegrini decided to leave Jovetic out of his squad for European matches. It's safe to say the Montenegro international is furious. ""The manager has killed me with this decision. I feel I deserve my place and other people have told me the same. People have told me I am a great player but it is clear that the manager does not think the same way. I am very disappointed, even now. I don’t think it was a good decision or the right decision. I know that I deserve to be on the list. I told the manager this but he did not want to listen to me. I came here to play in the Champions League." With Jovetic now behind Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Bony in the pecking order it would be no surprised to see the forward leave the club this summer. Feb 16 - 4:23 AM

Manchester City forward Stevan Jovetic could feature in GW19 after being an unused substitute on Boxing Day.

Jovetic is Manchester City's only active striker at the moment and they need him to get healthy sooner rather than later. After being an unused substitute, Jovetic will likely be given at least half an hour on Sunday against Burnley. Manchester City are bound to score a number of goals against Burnley and it's just a matter of whether or not Jovetic is on the pitch when the goals start flowing. He is a risky differential play this week but makes for a fantastic barn-door candidate due to Manchester's easy matchup in week 20. Sat, Dec 27, 2014 05:31:00 PM

Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic won't be able to get fit for Boxing Day.

Jovetic is recovering from an injury and won't be able to return for Friday. This is a crucial time for title contenders and Manchester City will certainly miss having a striker tomorrow. James Milner will likely end up leading the line again and should be considered as a good short term option. Thu, Dec 25, 2014 07:33:00 PM

Manchester City face a striker shortage / crisis as their three leading marksman are all ruled out for "maybe more than a couple of weeks."

Fresh from the disappointment of losing Sergio Aguero [knee ligament] for at least a month City at least took solace from the fact that Edin Dzeko was returning from a calf problem while Stevan Jovetic was managing his own muscular issue. However all that was about to change just 45 minutes prior to kick-off at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. Firstly the Press Association confirmed Jovetic had aggravated his injury in Rome – although the problem was only thought to be minor – and then Dzeko pulled up during the warm-up with a recurrence of his calf strain. Jose Pozo stepped in to fill the void today but in truth the youngster is still very raw and when you factor the loss of Vincent Kompany as well Manuel Pellegrini will have his work cut out just holding onto the coattails of Chelsea in the coming weeks.
